ARE you an aspiring young actor who would like the chance to be in a Harry Potter spin off film?

If the answer is yes then there is a great opportunity for you but don't dawdle as the deadline for applying is less than a week away!

'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2' is due to hit cinemas in November 2018, and Warner Bros and the film makers are on the hunt for budding young actors.

There are five new roles up for grabs, including teenage incarnations of some of the most loved characters from the world-famous J K Rowling stories.

In a post on the Pottermore website, they announced that they are looking for three actors between the ages of 13 and 16 to play young versions of New Scamander, Leta Lestrange, and another character called Sebastian.

They are also looking for actors between 16 and 18 to portray both Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore as teenagers.

The lucky performers will have the chance to share a set with Jude Law, who has recently been confirmed for the Fantastic Beasts sequel.

To apply for the Fantastic Beasts open casting call, email casting.prod@wb.uc-ns.com with a recent colour photograph (taken within the last two months), contact telephone number, your home address and date of birth.

Anyone under 18 must ask a parent or guardian to send the application.

No previous acting experience is necessary, but applicants need to be eligible to work in the UK (meaning they must be a UK, Irish or EU passport holder), and be available for filming between August and November 2017.

The closing date for applications is Tuesday, June 20, 2017 at midnight GMT. If there is interest in pursuing an application further, the applicant will hear back within 14 days of their original submission. While every applicant will be considered, only those passing the initial consideration round will be contacted.
